Address Bar or navigation bar

Does anyone have any idea how to delete the old addresses that stay in the IE address bar drop down. I dont want to go in and delete the browsing history cause then I will lose all of the addresses. For example my Uncle was up for a few weeks and typed in his email provider and I will never use that so I would like to take it of the address drop down. Any suggestions would be great.

There's no easy way to do this unless you hack into the registry and delete them from there. Editing the registry is not for the computer illiterate, so if you're feeling daring, check out this Microsoft help file

1.Quit Internet Explorer.2.Delete all of the values except for the (Default) value from the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs NOTE: Values in this registry key are listed as Url1, Url2, Url3, and so on. If you delete only some values and the remaining values are not in consecutive numerical order, only some of the remaining entries are listed in the Address box. To prevent this behavior from occurring, rename the remaining values so that they are in consecutive numerical order.
